Mercy Manor:
Support Mercy Manor by sending in your monetary donations directly to Mercy Manor or through Church Women United. The annual banquet was the primary fundraiser for Mercy Manor and that banquet had to be cancelled in 2020 and again in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check back to get details of the 2022 banquet. MERCY MANOR is one of CWU's most cherished projects; indeed it was started by CWU! Please consider donating your time, wish-list items, and/or money to support Mercy Manor! Executive Director, Barbara Hudson-Banner spoke to our CWU Board on several occasions this year. |
